  Landlines is an online multi-user collaborative drawing tool for GPS enabled mobile phones, in which users draw by moving in real space.  

Landlines is a multi-user drawing tool for mobile phone and bluetooth GPS, that allows users to draw by moving in real space. As you walk through the city with Landlines your latitude and longitude is periodically sent via mobile phone to a database. A website then displays your live tracks.

Landlines was designed for use in exhibitions, websites and artists projects.
As new routes are drawn, old ones decay and fade and thus the city is written and rewritten daily in the actions of its population.

This website documents the technologies used to make this work, offers access to the Landlines software with an open source license, and houses an archive of workshops and projects developed with Landlines.
